Everyone who has read William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, knows that Hamlet treated the women in his life very poorly, even his own mother, the woman that raised him.

Moana – Women Power Yeehaw!
I am a sucker for Disney movies and I am twenty years old. Do I have a problem or am I just childish? I would say it is my guilty pleasure but I am not guilty about it. I know most of the words from this whole movie and you better believe I have the… Read more Moana – Women Power Yeehaw!

I raised my hand to volunteer for every part to read aloud in front of the class. Sophomore year, my love grew… Read more Was Shakespeare Sexist or Did He Just Have a Small Penis?
